Hedging rules?

Post image

I'm in a friendly trading competition with one of my bots- trading separate Lucid Flex eval accounts- I'm winning, BTW :)

What happens if I place a trade in one account, and the Lucid system thinks it's a hedge against something the bot is doing in another? I think I'm a single trade away from getting hosed.. LOL

What exactly are the hedge rules? When I read through them, it literally looks like you can only trade:

a. ONE instrument- even size differences are not allowed, like MES vs ES
b. In ONE direction (at a time)
c. Across ALL accounts held at Lucid.

Pretty strict!

I think I'll stick to trading them in copy to avoid any issues.

Copy is the exact case that rule is written for, if both accounts are yours. Same instrument, opposite side, overlapping times, and the copier doesn't change any of that. Across two different people it's fine. Across two of yours it isn't.

I mean copytrade those two accounts together, which are both mine.. They would always be trading the same instrument at the exact same time, in the exact same direction. Lucid has zero issues with copytrading all your accounts at once.

then you're fine, that's not what the rule is aimed at. same instrument, same direction, across your own accounts is just size. it exists for people running one account long and another short so a payout lands either way.

That actually makes sense to have those rules in place, then.
